The Color of Magic Close to the Edge / Chapter 4 Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • Twoflower and Rincewind stare at something beautiful, and a voice behind them says it's the Rimbow.
  • Twoflower introduces the voice as Tethis, a sea troll, but Rincewind passes on turning around to see him for the sake of his already frayed sanity.
  • He's told they were saved by the Circumfence, a giant net circling much of Discworld's edge.
  • The ship travels across the Circumfence toward Tethis's home, and Rincewind observes the Rimbow and the shimmering of the eight color, octarine, within it.
